And here it is—the finished transformation.
After all the preparation, priming, and careful application, this fireplace has a completely new look and is a beautiful focal point of the room.
The fireplace color is a custom color match called Bunker Parsnip, selected by interior color consultant
Jennifer Christensen. Jennifer has become a trusted resource for both me and my clients, and I really appreciate the expertise she brings to choosing colors that work beautifully together within a space.
For this room, the walls are Benjamin Moore Fossil in a satin finish, with Fossil carried onto the ceiling in a flat finish.
This is the final installment of this three-part fireplace transformation. If you've followed along from the meticulous preparation in Part 1 through priming and painting in Part 2, thank you!
Have you ever considered updating your fireplace with paint instead of replacing it? The transformation can be remarkable.
Fireplace transformations have become one of my favorite projects because they can transform the look and personality of a room without the cost of a major renovation.
